    Absolutely love her place. A testament to what Cicero said - "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need." I guess I will never be a minimalist, no way will I ever get rid of my books.

      @AndréCaetano_arq 5 років тому +25

      to be fair, minimalism isnt about letting go of everything, but about getting rid of things you dont really love, so you could keep your books and be a minimalist

    I almost joined the minimalist bandwagon. Put all my books in boxes and asked my husband to give to charity. My husband looked at me and said 'no way, this is not you, you will regret this, you adore all your books'. Thank God I listened!

    It's such a pleasure to see a passionate environment that is not minimalist but includes all things that have so much meaning. She is lucky to have the room and shelves! Beautiful because it reflects her/them. I LOVE all the art!

  • @StutiRajguru
    @StutiRajguru 5 років тому +3

    What a lovely little world she and her husband have created for themselves! Absolutely loved it! I am a minimalist in almost every sense of the word, but when it comes to my books- there simply can never be too many! An ever expanding library is an ever expanding mind. I too hope to have my own "book house" like her husband's someday.

    “You have to defend it, sometimes against love”. So true. So far, I haven’t been successful, and squeeze in my soul where I can. But I admire and revere those who can. With me, I get pregnant with a painting , or poem, or writing and then it’s a fever I must unleash. I know, I know. But it’s true for me.
